- Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site)
Observation: Turkey vegetable soup noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Soup was observed at 45° in the walk in cooler which was prepared yesterday, February 23.
Correction: Cool potentially hazardous foods from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and within a total of 6 hours from 135°F to 41°F. A longer time for cooling allows an ideal situation for bacterial growth. This has been shown to be the major contributing factor in many foodborne illnesses. The person in charge discarded the soup.
